The computer ran for about 3 months before the fault developed. Since then it's been back for 4 depot repairs, they always suggest reloading when call in, but being disgruntled send it off anyhow.

I'm running Windows XP SP2 and SP3 both experience this Boot Loop. I have not tried anything else and would appreciate some guidance. Th computer boots to the Windows User Splash Screen and then recycles. The latest manifestation taking 72 hours to occur from a fresh install (single power up) no third party software.

Initially when I got the computer, to replace my first 10 year old home build, I loaded it up with all my Genuine Software. About 6 months in it "boot-looped" and the graphics card was blamed. Reinstall, lose all you work and by Jimminy it does it almost immediately again. This time a hard drive replacement!

Since then no after market graphics card (Nvidia - who'd like to buy it) have been installed and even with the new HD we've had at least 5 boot-loop instances.

Following the latest depot repair I have only run the ACER Install disk software. Nuffing else Gov and it flipped into boot-looping 3 days after a single start. I have the box on an UPS with an expensive voltage filter, Florida has some interesting voltages!
